The CADS-500 is used for precise delivery of payload up to 500 kgs at a predetermined location by making use of manoeuvrable capabilities of the Ram Air Parachute (RAP).It uses Global Positioning System for the coordinates, altitude and heading sensors for the heading information during its flight.The CADS, with its onboard electronics unit, autonomously steers its flight path using waypoint navigation towards target location by operating controls.The flight demonstration was part of a series of activities to celebrate ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, commemorating 75 years of India’s independence.READ | Nuclear-capable Agni-P missile successfully flight testedDRDO, IAF successfully flight-test indigenous Stand-Off Anti-Tank missile | WATCH
